White Vine Designs a la Karla Hamilton
Karla has been an Inkspots member for a couple of years now, and we have seen some of her gorgeous work when she lived in Houston. She is a professional calligrapher with loads of experience and talent! She was scheduled to present this class right when the pandemic hit, so we are more than happy to finally have her teach us this time!
Karla learned White Vine from Mark Van Stone years ago, and she has adapted her own style to share with us. It's based on 15th-century designs. She will show us how to make our own initial capital letter and embellish it with a simple White Vine design.
